In it's march to destroy the rights afforded to us under the Constitution and Bill of Rights the senate stands ready to pass a Bill that will largely leave a warrantless surveillance program in place and provide immunity for telecom companies beset by lawsuits after they provided the government with access to information for the program.
Instead of working the legalities of this out in a court of law, the senate has taken the issue to a bill which has passed 69 to 28 in favor.
Most disturbing of all, while the Senate has voted this program into law, most of it will remain secret not only to the public but to the Senators who voted it in.
According to ABC News the administration will now be required to place all international
surveillance activity under the authority of a secret court created to
consider the so-called FISA cases.
Secret courts and shadow armies, we already know where this leads. This is insanity.
